QUINCY – Just in time for Restaurant Week, the Quincy Chamber of Commerce has relaunched its tastequincy.com website and created a “Discover Quincy” mobile application.

“We realized that the most effective way to reach visitors and residents in Quincy today is through a mobile app. And we felt the Taste Quincy website needed a fresh look and be more user-friendly just in time for the event,” said chamber President Dean Rizzo.

The app allows users to view things to see and do, including dining, lodging, shopping, events and transportation schedules.

“There are three main sections to use on the app: nearby, search and categories. Whether you’re new to Quincy or a resident, you can have everything to see and do at your fingertips,” said Margaret Laforest, the chamber’s director of tourism and marketing, who oversaw the project begun last fall. It’s available free at the App Store and at Google Play.
